This year’s annual safety standdown– sponsored by Bombardier Aerospace, NBAA, the FAA and the NTSB, focused on more than procedure and technique.
This year’s annual safety standdown– sponsored by Bombardier Aerospace, NBAA, the FAA and the NTSB, focused on more than procedure and technique. The three-day event (one day longer than in previous years) emphasized the need to initiate and sustain positive changes in behavior and cultural norms. To that end, presenters focused attention on recognizing and dealing with attitudes and predispositions–of individuals and organizations– that compromise safety.
Optional one-day workshops on subjects such as CPR and crewmember medical training, ditching/underwater egress and water survival training, international procedures, human factors for maintenance managers and behavioral accountability preceded the event.
